About Moment Energy
Independent energy is here. Help us deploy it.
Energy should be free. Free from aging grids, fragile supply chains, and unnecessary extraction. At Moment Energy, we’re building a world where clean power is abundant, affordable, and uninterrupted for everyone.
The world doesn’t need another promise about energy; Moment Energy is the pragmatic liberator of power, the only company certified to turn the largest untapped energy supply into independent energy.
While the industry scraps millions of batteries with decades of life left, we put them to work by repurposing large-format batteries into advanced battery energy storage systems that deliver real-world impact.
Today, Moment Energy delivers 5x the energy density and holds the certifications required to deploy energy independence at scale.
Moment Energy is seeking a Director of Engineering to lead and scale our multidisciplinary engineering organization as we expand production of our battery energy storage systems.

We refer to them when we have tough decisions to make, we give shoutouts based on living out these values, and we include them as part of our performance reviews.
We have 5 core values and 1 foundational pillar (Safety is our Foundation) which lays the groundwork for everything we do.
Safety is our Foundation
We prioritize the safety of our products, customers, employees, and the general public above all else. From the workshop to the field, we maintain the highest standards for our batteries in testing manufacturing and deployment, and daily operations. Safety is not only about procedures—it is about vigilance, responsibility, and speaking up when something does not feel right.
We follow safety protocols, use proper equipment, and continuously improve our systems to prevent risks before they occur. Safety also means protecting our colleagues, customers, and communities by designing reliable products, maintaining safe workspaces, and ensuring our work is done carefully and responsibly.
We’re Building a Greener Future Together:
We Prioritize our Customer’s Needs:
We place our customers at the core of everything we do, ensuring that every decision considers their needs and aims to provide increased value to them. We provide reliable support for our customers, every step of the way.

We prioritize open and honest communication to foster mutual understanding, strengthen knowledge sharing, and reduce miscommunication within the team. We’re self-starters that proactively embrace new challenges along with personal and collective ownership of responsibilities in the organization.
